Justice And Tax Benefits of Msmes In Government Regulation No. 23 of 2018

Abstract

Tax collection is a function that the state must carry out for the welfare of the people. Every tax levy must be based on law. Thus the tax must have a clear legal basis and its implementation should not be carried out without a legal basis.To achieve the target of state revenue, the government agreed to sign Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 23 of 2018 (PP 23) concerning income tax on income from business received or obtained by Taxpayers with Certain Gross Circulation. Through this Government Regulation, entrepreneurs and SMEs who have income of less than Rp. 4.8 billion in one tax year can pay a tax of 0.5 percent of their gross turnover. The aspect of justice is one of the cons that is often highlighted considering that the PPH 23/2018 income tax is included in the final tax. This is the MSME tax which is final. Regardless of whether the final result of the taxpayer's business is profit or loss, as long as the taxpayer has a turnover, the taxpayer must pay taxes. The type of research in this research is normative juridical law research, which is research based on literature study. Found through a good arrangement, PP 23 of 2018 is a form of partisanship of the state in the field of taxation for the community. MSMEs are given leeway in calculating their taxes, which are half a percent of the gross turnover each month. In addition, PP 23 was made to encourage the public to participate in formal economic activities, by providing convenience and more justice to taxpayers. Government Regulation no.23 of 2018 is expected to be able to support Tax Collection and expand the taxation database, as well as support policies that strengthen the national economy.
